1xBet 1X2, W1/W2, X, Double Chance & Regular Time

Labels such as 1, X, 2, W1, W2 and Regular Time look simple, but misreading one of them can lose a bet even when your match prediction was right. This guide explains what each result market means (see also the 1xBet betting guide).

What 1X2 Means

1X2 is the basic result market. It has three outcomes and you back one of them.

Symbol	Meaning
1	Home team wins
X	Draw (the match ends level)
2	Away team wins

Backing 1 wins only if the home team wins in regular time.

Most football 1X2 markets cover regular time only. This matters in knockout competitions (see Regular Time below).

W1 and W2

W1 and W2 are the two team-win outcomes of a two-way market, where a draw is not possible or not offered.

Symbol	Meaning
W1	Team 1 (home or listed first) wins
W2	Team 2 (away or listed second) wins

You see W1/W2 mainly in:

Basketball: overtime decides the winner, so there is no draw
Tennis: a match always has a winner
American football: overtime rules remove the draw in most cases
Draw No Bet variants in football

In W1/W2 no stake is lost to a draw. In 1X2 the draw is a third result that loses a bet on either team.

What X Means

X is the draw outcome of a 1X2 market. It exists only in three-way markets, so an X on screen means the draw is a live possibility.

Applies	Does not apply
Football	Basketball, tennis, American football
Rugby	Draw No Bet (the draw is removed and the stake refunded)
Hockey in regular time, check the market scope	Asian Handicap half lines

1X2 vs Win 2-Way

Feature	1X2	Win 2-Way (W1/W2)
Outcomes	Three: home, draw, away	Two: Team 1, Team 2
Draw	A separate outcome, it loses a team selection	Not offered, resolved by overtime or excluded
Sports	Football, rugby, hockey and others with draws	Basketball, tennis, American football, Draw No Bet

Read the market name before you bet: three prices with X in the middle is 1X2, two prices labeled W1/W2 means no draw applies.

What Regular Time Means

Regular time is the standard duration of play for the sport. It excludes extra time, overtime periods and penalty shootouts.

Sport	Regular time includes	Regular time excludes
Football	90 minutes + stoppage time	Extra time, penalties
Basketball (Regular Time market)	Four quarters	Overtime
Basketball (standard Match Winner)	Four quarters and usually overtime	Not applicable
Hockey	60 minutes	Overtime, shootout
Tennis	The full match	Not applicable

Example: a cup match ends 1-1 after 90 minutes and one team wins in extra time. The Regular Time 1X2 settles on X, so a bet on “1” loses. A To Qualify market settles on the team that advances.

How Double Chance Works

Double Chance packs two of the three 1X2 outcomes into one selection. You get broader coverage at lower odds than either single outcome.

Selection	Covers	Loses if
1X	Home win or draw	Away team wins
12	Home win or away win	The match is drawn
X2	Away win or draw	Home team wins

1X suits a favorite that is unlikely to lose but may draw. X2 suits an underdog that can hold a draw. Double Chance does not exist in W1/W2 markets, because there is no draw to cover.

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Why it matters	What to check
Assuming knockout bets include extra time	Regular Time 1X2 settles after 90 minutes	Regular Time or To Qualify in the market name
Mixing 2-way and 3-way legs in one slip	A draw can lose the football leg	Whether the market is 2-way or 3-way
Looking for X in basketball	Standard basketball markets have no draw	The sport and the exact market
Treating Double Chance 12 as safe	12 loses on a draw	How often the matchup ends level
Mixing Regular Time and Match Winner in basketball	Regular Time excludes overtime, Match Winner usually includes it	The market title in close games

Before you confirm a bet, read the market name and the time period it covers. It is shown in the market label, in the event tab and behind the (i) icon next to the market.
